You Hate Your Work, and I Found Out Why
We all know that one brilliant artist from elementary school who always said their work was awful before surprising the teacher yet again with a masterpiece. We learned to doubt them and expect another beautiful work of art with every assignment. However, they never stopped putting themselves down no matter what anyone said. Eventually, we just stopped giving them compliments, and then they stopped sharing their work with us. Why weren’t they satisfied with the years of compliments we gave them?

Inspirational story
Recommend an article "The Next 7 Years, Who Am I? "I signed up for an interpreting class on a whim. One of the teachers was about 30 years old. He was very beautiful and fashionable. He was very good at interpreting. eat. It was only later that she learned that she studied history in college and that her job was the manager of the public relations department of a company. Her son was 5 years old. She had to go to work, do housework and take care of the children every day. Different from us, she has a second-level interpreting certificate from the Personnel Department. She has conference translation tasks every month, and she also serves as a tutor for this interpretation center. Opening her blog, she has updated more than 500 pages and has more than 2,000 posts, all of which are articles she does interpreting exercises by herself every day, an average of two long and one short every day, and she has been doing it for almost 10 years. Years, non-professional background, she has been working hard because she loves English. I admired her. She said that 10 years ago, she had seen a survey report that if a person wants to master a skill and become an expert, he needs to practice 10,000 hours without interruption. At that time, she calculated that if you practiced 5 hours a day and 300 days a year, it would take 7 years for a person to master this skill.

You're not stupid, but we are stupidly confident
In a famous line from Theatetus, Socrates compares his philosophical activity to midwifery (v, he maieutikê technê). Socrates, according to Maieutics, first facilitates and then criticises other people's ideas. In other words, Socrates felt that individuals were convinced of their own views, even if they were false, and that they could not recognise (as he did) that they simply "didn't know" things. As a result, he would probe them more and more until they began to doubt their earlier ideas or came to a different conclusion. This was not a quest for the ultimate truth, but rather to raise awareness of the reality that we know far less than we believe.

Depression
Hi. I want to write about how depressed I am feeling really. I honestly feel this is just abuse and torture and no reason for me to have to feel like this every day. It's not fair to me and I am really sick and tired of feeling like that. It is all caused by the supervisors at my workplace who made me feel like I can't be myself at work and I am sick and tired of it. No matter what they think, who I am and how I feel won't change. It's not even worth my while to have to feel all depressed every single day for this job because there are so many other jobs around that I can do. Just because I'm such a good worker, doesn't mean that they can be abusive towards me. Of course, they wouldn't think that they have done anything wrong or perhaps my way of dealing with what they thought of me was not good, which caused me to be seriously depressed. Either way, it has already caused me serious depression that I have to feel every single day of my life. It is a torture and a pain and I feel like I am in a really abusive relationship dealing with an alcoholic and drug addict.

Why gifted kids fail later in life.
Growing up as a gifted kid is not necessarily an advantage. It comes with its own set of challenges and obstacles to overcome. In some ways, it can actually be a burden and set you up to fail later in life.

The introverted business woman.I am an introvert. More than that I have social anxiety and sensory processing disorder, all of which go hand in hand. My social battery gets drained very quickly and the stimulation of crowds causes sensory over load.

Finding it hard to take breaks when freelancing? Try a Holiday Policy.
When you're self-employed, taking time off can be an unusual experience - on the one hand, you've effectively got 'unlimited' time off, being able to take a break whenever you wish, however on the other - none of that time is paid and when you can take that time off is often driven by others: when projects are finishing, when clients are away, when school holidays happen.

Unstable Energy and Trust
We had the oddest interaction with a would-be filmmaker the other night. This “former addict” who claims to be six years clean, was, I am told, decidedly not clean when he approached a certain publicist just three years ago and told us on THIS call he’d just “had a Xanax” so he’s calm, anxiety in check. Um. That’s the drug he’s claiming to be clean from.
